Description

半导体集成电路装置Semiconductor integrated circuit device

技术领域technical field

本公开涉及一种半导体集成电路装置,该半导体集成电路装置使用了鳍式FET(场效应晶体管:Field Effect Transistor)、纳米线FET等三维晶体管器件。The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor integrated circuit device using three-dimensional transistor devices such as fin-type FET (Field Effect Transistor: Field Effect Transistor) and nanowire FET.

背景技术Background technique

标准单元方式是在半导体衬底上形成半导体集成电路的一种已知方法。标准单元方式指的是下述方式,即:事先将具有特定逻辑功能的基本单元(例如反相器、锁存器、触发器、全加器等)作为标准单元准备好,然后将多个标准单元布置在半导体衬底上,再用布线将这些标准单元连接起来,这样来设计LSI芯片。The standard cell approach is a known method of forming semiconductor integrated circuits on a semiconductor substrate. The standard cell method refers to the method in which basic units with specific logic functions (such as inverters, latches, flip-flops, full adders, etc.) are prepared as standard units in advance, and then multiple standard units are prepared. Cells are arranged on a semiconductor substrate, and these standard cells are connected by wiring, so that an LSI chip is designed.

近年来,在半导体器件这一领域,有人提议采用鳍式构造的FET(以下称为鳍式FET)。图9是示意图,示出鳍式FET的简略构造。与二维构造的FET不同,鳍式FET的源极和漏极具有被称为鳍的凸起来的立体构造。并且,以包围该鳍的方式布置有栅极。根据该鳍式构造,沟道区域由鳍的三个面形成,因此相比现有技术,沟道的控制性得到大幅度改善。因此,能够获得减少漏电功耗、提高导通电流、进而降低工作电压等效果,从而提高半导体集成电路的性能。需要说明的是,鳍式FET是一种具有立体扩散层部的所谓的三维晶体管器件。除此之外,三维晶体管器件还有例如被称作纳米线FET的构造。In recent years, in the field of semiconductor devices, FETs having a fin structure (hereinafter referred to as fin FETs) have been proposed. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of a fin FET. Unlike a two-dimensional FET, the source and drain of a fin FET have a three-dimensional structure called a fin. And, a gate electrode is arranged so as to surround the fin. According to this fin-type structure, the channel region is formed by the three surfaces of the fin, so that the controllability of the channel is greatly improved compared with the prior art. Therefore, effects such as reducing leakage power consumption, increasing on-current, and further reducing operating voltage can be obtained, thereby improving the performance of the semiconductor integrated circuit. It should be noted that the fin FET is a so-called three-dimensional transistor device having a three-dimensional diffusion layer portion. In addition to this, three-dimensional transistor devices also have structures known as nanowire FETs, for example.

另一方面,延迟单元用于对电路动作进行定时调节等,例如用缓冲器等来实现。专利文献1示出了这样的延迟调节单元的示例。On the other hand, the delay unit is used for timing adjustment of the circuit operation and the like, and is realized by, for example, a buffer or the like. Patent Document 1 shows an example of such a delay adjustment unit.

发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

-发明要解决的技术问题--Technical problem to be solved by invention-

当封装三维晶体管器件时,一般使用局部布线(Local Interconnect)。局部布线是指与晶体管的扩散层、栅极不经由触点而直接接触的布线。When packaging three-dimensional transistor devices, local interconnects are generally used. The local wiring refers to a wiring that is in direct contact with the diffusion layer and gate of the transistor without going through a contact.

在使用所述局部布线的半导体集成电路装置中,如何实现每单位面积的延迟值较大的延迟单元是一个问题。In a semiconductor integrated circuit device using the local wiring, how to realize a delay cell having a large delay value per unit area is a problem.

本公开在使用鳍式FET、纳米线FET等三维晶体管器件的半导体集成电路装置中,实现每单位面积的延迟值较大的延迟单元。The present disclosure realizes a delay cell with a larger delay value per unit area in a semiconductor integrated circuit device using a three-dimensional transistor device such as a fin FET and a nanowire FET.

-用以解决技术问题的技术方案--Technical solutions to solve technical problems-

在本公开的第一方面中,一种半导体集成电路装置包括第一标准单元和第二标准单元,所述第一标准单元为逻辑单元,且具有三维晶体管器件,所述第二标准单元为延迟单元,且具有三维晶体管器件。所述第一标准单元包括:沿第一方向延伸的一个第一立体扩散层部、或者沿该第一方向延伸的多个第一立体扩散层部,其中,多个所述第一立体扩散层部沿与所述第一方向垂直的第二方向排列;以及第一局部布线,其沿所述第二方向延伸,且连接所述第一立体扩散层部与电源线,所述电源线沿所述第一方向延伸且供给规定的第一电源电压。所述第二标准单元包括:沿所述第一方向延伸的一个第二立体扩散层部、或者沿所述第一方向延伸的多个第二立体扩散层部,其中,多个所述第二立体扩散层部沿所述第二方向排列;第二局部布线,其沿所述第二方向延伸,且连接所述第二立体扩散层部与所述电源线;以及栅极布线,其沿所述第二方向延伸而在俯视时与所述第二立体扩散层部相交,且形成为包围所述第二立体扩散层部,并且规定的第二电源电压被施加在该栅极布线上。所述第二标准单元中所述第二局部布线从所述第二立体扩散层部朝向远离所述电源线的方向突出的长度,大于所述第一标准单元中所述第一局部布线从所述第一立体扩散层部朝向远离所述电源线的方向突出的长度。In a first aspect of the present disclosure, a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a first standard cell that is a logic cell and has a three-dimensional transistor device and a second standard cell that is a delay cell, and has a three-dimensional transistor device. The first standard unit includes: a first three-dimensional diffusion layer portion extending along a first direction, or a plurality of first three-dimensional diffusion layer portions extending along the first direction, wherein a plurality of the first three-dimensional diffusion layers The parts are arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and a first local wiring extends along the second direction and connects the first three-dimensional diffusion layer part and the power line, the power line along the The first direction extends and a predetermined first power supply voltage is supplied. The second standard unit includes: one second three-dimensional diffusion layer part extending along the first direction, or a plurality of second three-dimensional diffusion layer parts extending along the first direction, wherein a plurality of the second three-dimensional diffusion layer parts The three-dimensional diffusion layer parts are arranged along the second direction; the second local wirings extend along the second direction and connect the second three-dimensional diffusion layer parts and the power supply lines; and the gate wirings extend along the second direction. The second direction extends to intersect the second three-dimensional diffusion layer portion in plan view, and is formed to surround the second three-dimensional diffusion layer portion, and a predetermined second power supply voltage is applied to the gate wiring. The length of the protruding length of the second local wiring from the second three-dimensional diffusion layer portion in the direction away from the power supply line in the second standard cell is greater than that of the first local wiring in the first standard cell. The length of the first three-dimensional diffusion layer portion protruding in a direction away from the power supply line.

根据上述方面,延迟单元即第二标准单元中局部布线从立体扩散层部朝远离电源线的方向突出的长度,大于逻辑单元即第一标准单元中局部布线从立体扩散层部朝远离电源线的方向突出的长度。即,在延迟单元中,与三维晶体管器件的立体扩散层部相连的局部布线从立体扩散层部延伸得较长。这样一来,局部布线与栅极布线之间的寄生电容就会更大,因此能够实现每单位面积的延迟值较大的延迟单元。According to the above aspect, the length of the local wiring in the second standard cell, which is the delay cell, protrudes from the three-dimensional diffusion layer part in the direction away from the power supply line is greater than the length of the local wiring in the logic cell, which is the first standard cell, from the three-dimensional diffusion layer part in the direction away from the power supply line. The length of the direction protrusion. That is, in the delay cell, the local wiring connected to the three-dimensional diffusion layer portion of the three-dimensional transistor device extends longer from the three-dimensional diffusion layer portion. In this way, the parasitic capacitance between the local wiring and the gate wiring becomes larger, so that a delay cell with a large delay value per unit area can be realized.

-发明的效果--Effect of invention-

根据本公开,在使用三维晶体管器件的半导体集成电路装置中,能够实现每单位面积的延迟值较大的延迟单元。因此,能够提高半导体集成电路装置的性能。According to the present disclosure, in a semiconductor integrated circuit device using a three-dimensional transistor device, a delay cell having a large delay value per unit area can be realized. Therefore, the performance of the semiconductor integrated circuit device can be improved.

此处,着重看一下将鳍与电源线连接起来的局部布线。Here, focus on the local routing that connects the fins to the power lines.

在标准单元2的P型晶体管区域PA,局部布线31与鳍21a、21b相连且沿Y方向延伸,局部布线31越过鳍21a、21b而向单元内侧进一步延伸较长的距离。即,局部布线31从鳍21a、21b朝远离电源线VDD的方向突出的长度(突出长度)D2大于标准单元1的P型晶体管区域PA中局部布线16从鳍11朝远离电源线VDD的方向突出的长度(突出长度)D1。同样,在标准单元2的N型晶体管区域NA,局部布线31与鳍22a、22b相连且沿Y方向延伸,局部布线31越过鳍22a、22b而向单元内侧进一步延伸较长的距离。In the P-type transistor region PA of the standard cell 2, the local wiring 31 is connected to the fins 21a and 21b and extends in the Y direction. That is, the protruding length (protrusion length) D2 of the local wiring 31 from the fins 21 a and 21 b in the direction away from the power supply line VDD is larger than that of the local wiring 16 in the P-type transistor region PA of the standard cell 1 protruding from the fin 11 in the direction away from the power supply line VDD The length (protrusion length) D1. Similarly, in the N-type transistor region NA of the standard cell 2, the local wiring 31 is connected to the fins 22a, 22b and extends in the Y direction, and the local wiring 31 goes beyond the fins 22a, 22b to further extend a long distance inside the cell.

在一般的标准单元中,为了抑制寄生电容增大,将局部布线的长度设定成最小限度。例如,标准单元1中的局部布线16的突出长度D1优选为制造工艺允许的最小值。相对于此,在本实施方式中,在延迟单元即标准单元2中,为了增大布线电容而进一步增大延迟,使局部布线31越过鳍21a、21b、22a、22b而向单元内侧进一步延伸较长的距离。通过使局部布线31延伸较长的距离,而使得局部布线31与栅极布线23、24、25、26之间的寄生电容变得更大,因而能够增大延迟值。因此,能够实现每单位面积的延迟值较大的延迟单元即标准单元2。In a general standard cell, in order to suppress the increase of parasitic capacitance, the length of the local wiring is set to a minimum. For example, the protruding length D1 of the local wiring 16 in the standard cell 1 is preferably the minimum value allowed by the manufacturing process. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the standard cell 2 that is a delay cell, in order to increase the wiring capacitance and further increase the delay, the local wiring 31 is extended further inside the cell beyond the fins 21a, 21b, 22a, and 22b. long distance. By extending the local wiring 31 a long distance, the parasitic capacitance between the local wiring 31 and the gate wirings 23 , 24 , 25 , and 26 becomes larger, so that the delay value can be increased. Therefore, the standard cell 2 , which is a delay cell having a large delay value per unit area, can be realized.

需要说明的是,在图1的结构下,在标准单元1、2中,鳍11的个数等于鳍21a、21b的个数,且鳍11在Y方向上的位置与鳍21a、21b在Y方向上的位置相同。不过,本公开不限于此,鳍11的个数也可以不等于鳍21a、21b的个数,并且,鳍11在Y方向上的位置与鳍21a、21b在Y方向上的位置也可以不同。不管是哪种情况,只要将局部布线从鳍的靠单元内侧的一端突出的长度作为突出长度进行比较即可。It should be noted that, in the structure of FIG. 1 , in the standard cells 1 and 2, the number of fins 11 is equal to the number of fins 21a and 21b, and the position of the fin 11 in the Y direction is the same as that of the fins 21a and 21b in the Y direction. The position in the direction is the same. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, the number of fins 11 may not be equal to the number of fins 21a, 21b, and the position of the fin 11 in the Y direction may be different from the position of the fins 21a, 21b in the Y direction. In either case, it is sufficient to compare the protruding length of the local wiring from the end of the fin closer to the inside of the cell as the protruding length.

在图1的结构下,标准单元1、2布置在沿X方向延伸的同一单元列中,不过本公开不限于此,标准单元1、2还可以布置在不同的单元列中。In the structure of FIG. 1 , the standard cells 1 and 2 are arranged in the same cell column extending along the X direction, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the standard cells 1 and 2 may also be arranged in different cell columns.

此外,延迟单元的电路结构不限于图3(b)所示的结构。例如,串联的反相器的个数也可以是四个以外的其它数量,例如两个或六个。或者,延迟单元的电路结构也可以是图4所示的电路结构。在图4(a)中,采用将反相器与开关电路串联起来的结构,该开关电路由P型晶体管和N型晶体管这一组晶体管构成。需要说明的是,在图4(a)中,使两个由开关电路和反相器构成的部分电路F1连接起来,不过也可以使N个(N是偶数)部分电路F1连接起来。还可以采用将两个以上的开关电路串联起来的结构。在图4(b)中,P型晶体管和N型晶体管两两纵向堆叠而构成反相器,由该反相器构成部分电路F2。需要说明的是,在图4(b)中,使两个部分电路F2连接起来,不过也可以使N个(N是偶数)部分电路F2连接起来。构成部分电路F2的反相器也可以由三个以上P型晶体管和三个以上N型晶体管纵向堆叠构成。即,延迟单元只要具有使输入信号延迟后再输出的电路结构即可,可以具有任意的电路结构。In addition, the circuit configuration of the delay unit is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 3( b ). For example, the number of inverters connected in series may be other than four, such as two or six. Alternatively, the circuit configuration of the delay unit may be the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 4 . In FIG. 4( a ), a structure in which an inverter and a switch circuit are connected in series, and the switch circuit is constituted by a group of transistors of a P-type transistor and an N-type transistor is adopted. It should be noted that, in FIG. 4( a ), two partial circuits F1 composed of switching circuits and inverters are connected, but N (N is an even number) partial circuits F1 may be connected. A structure in which two or more switch circuits are connected in series may also be employed. In FIG. 4( b ), the P-type transistors and the N-type transistors are vertically stacked to form an inverter, and a part of the circuit F2 is formed by the inverter. It should be noted that, in FIG. 4( b ), two partial circuits F2 are connected, but N (N is an even number) partial circuits F2 may be connected. The inverter constituting part of the circuit F2 may also be constituted by vertically stacking three or more P-type transistors and three or more N-type transistors. That is, the delay unit may have any circuit configuration as long as it has a circuit configuration in which the input signal is delayed and then output.

(金属布线的形状)(shape of metal wiring)

图5是俯视图,其示出图1的标准单元2中金属布线的形状。需要说明的是,在图5中,为简化图示而省略了鳍和栅极布线。如上所述,在标准单元2中设有金属布线29a~29e,利用所述金属布线29a~29e进行用以构成标准单元2的逻辑的连接。FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the shape of the metal wiring in the standard cell 2 of FIG. 1 .

Specifically, the main portion 40a connects the drains of the fin FETs P22 and N22 to the fin FETs P23, The gate of N23 is connected. On the other hand, the redundant parts 41 and 42 are branched from the main part 40a in a direction (here, the X direction) different from the extending direction (here, the Y direction) of the main part 40a, and are electrically connected only to the main part 40a.

The main portion 40b (the portion of the metal wiring 29d without the black dots) connects the logic for constituting the standard cell 2. Specifically, the main portion 40b connects the drains of the fin FETs P23 and N23 to the fin FETs P24, The gate of N24 is connected. On the other hand, the redundant parts 43 and 44 are branched from the main part 40b in a direction (here, the X direction) different from the extending direction (here, the Y direction) of the main part 40b, and are electrically connected only to the main part 40b. The metal wiring 29e has a main portion 40c and redundant portions 45 and 46 . The main part 40c (the part without black dots in the metal wiring 29e) connects the logic for configuring the standard cell 2, and specifically, the main part 40c connects the drains of the fin FETs P24 and N24 to each other. On the other hand, the redundant parts 45 and 46 are branched from the main part 40c in a different direction (here, the X direction) from the extending direction (here, the Y direction) of the main part 40c, and are electrically connected only to the main part 40c.

图6是示出作为比较例,当金属布线中不包括冗余部的情况下标准单元2的布局结构的图。由图6可知,即使从图5的布局中去掉冗余部41~46,对于构成标准单元2的逻辑而言也不会成为问题。FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the layout structure of the standard cell 2 in the case where the redundant portion is not included in the metal wiring as a comparative example. As can be seen from FIG. 6 , even if the redundant parts 41 to 46 are removed from the layout of FIG. 5 , there is no problem with the logic constituting the standard cell 2 .

如上所述,在进行用以构成标准单元2的逻辑的连接的金属布线29c、29d、29e中,设置构成逻辑时用不到的冗余部41~46,从而能够增大信号线的布线电容,从而能够进一步增大延迟。As described above, in the metal wirings 29c, 29d, and 29e for connecting the logic for configuring the standard cell 2, the redundant portions 41 to 46 that are not used for configuring the logic are provided, so that the wiring capacitance of the signal line can be increased. , so that the delay can be further increased.

在图5的结构下,与第一布线对应的金属布线29d具有冗余部43,与第二布线对应的金属布线29e具有冗余部45,冗余部43与冗余部45沿同一方向(此处为X方向)延伸,且在与该同一方向垂直的方向(此处为Y方向)上,冗余部43与冗余部45之间没有其他的金属布线而相邻。同样,金属布线29d具有冗余部44,金属布线29e具有冗余部46,冗余部44与冗余部46沿同一方向(此处为X方向)延伸,且在与该同一方向垂直的方向(此处为Y方向)上,冗余部44与冗余部46之间没有其他的金属布线而相邻。根据上述构成方式,能够进一步增大信号线的布线电容,从而能够进一步增大延迟。In the structure of FIG. 5 , the metal wiring 29d corresponding to the first wiring has the redundant portion 43, and the metal wiring 29e corresponding to the second wiring has the redundant portion 45, and the redundant portion 43 and the redundant portion 45 are in the same direction ( X direction here), and in the direction perpendicular to the same direction (Y direction here), the redundant portion 43 and the redundant portion 45 are adjacent to each other without other metal wiring.

In the Y direction (here, the Y direction), the redundant portion 44 and the redundant portion 46 are adjacent to each other without any other metal wiring. According to the above configuration, the wiring capacitance of the signal line can be further increased, and the delay can be further increased.

而且,就由鳍式FET P24、N24构成的反相器而言,金属布线29d与该反相器的输入端相连,金属布线29e与该反相器的输出端相连。这样一来,在同一反相器的输入信号线和输出信号线即金属布线29d、29e中,通过使冗余部43、45相邻,并使冗余部44、46相邻,而能够进一步增大信号线的延迟。需要说明的是,就反相器以外的逻辑门而言,在成为该逻辑门的输入信号线和输出信号线的金属布线中,也可以使冗余部相邻。Furthermore, in the inverter constituted by the fin FETs P24 and N24, the metal wiring 29d is connected to the input terminal of the inverter, and the metal wiring 29e is connected to the output terminal of the inverter. In this way, in the metal wirings 29d and 29e, which are the input signal lines and the output signal lines of the same inverter, by making the redundant parts 43 and 45 adjacent to each other and the redundant parts 44 and 46 adjacent to each other, it is possible to further improve the Increase the delay of the signal line. In addition, in the metal wiring which becomes the input signal line and the output signal line of the logic gate other than an inverter, you may adjoin a redundant part.

That is, the dummy gate wiring 27c is connected to the signal line to constitute a capacitance. The signal line connects the inverter composed of the fin FETs P22 and N22 and the inverter composed of the fin FETs P23 and N23. In this way, the wiring capacitance of the signal line can be increased, and the delay can be further increased.

In addition, in FIG. 8, illustration of a fin is abbreviate|omitted for illustration simplicity. In the structure of FIG. 8 , the dummy gate wiring 27c is connected to the metal wiring 29c via the local wiring 61 (portion with black dots), and is connected to the gate wiring 25 via the local wiring 62 (portion with black dots). That is, the dummy gate wiring 27c is connected to constitute a part of the signal line. The signal line connects the inverter composed of the fin FETs P22 and N22 and the inverter composed of the fin FETs P23 and N23. In this way, the dummy gate wiring 27c contributes to both the delay of the signal line and the increase of the wiring capacitance, so that the delay of the signal line can be further increased.

(三维晶体管器件的另一例)(Another example of a three-dimensional transistor device)

在上述各实施方式中,以鳍式FET为例进行了说明,不过也可以构成为采用了鳍式FET以外的三维晶体管器件,例如纳米线FET。In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the fin-type FET is used as an example for description, but a three-dimensional transistor device other than the fin-type FET, such as a nanowire FET, may also be used.

图10是示意图,其示出纳米线FET的基本构造示例(也称为环栅(GAA:Gate AllAround)型构造)。纳米线FET是使用了供电流流动的细线(纳米线)的FET。纳米线例如由硅形成。如图10所示,纳米线在衬底上沿着水平方向延伸,即平行于衬底延伸,其两端连接在构成纳米线FET的源极区域和漏极区域的构造物上。在本申请说明书中,将纳米线FET中连接在纳米线的两端上且构成纳米线FET的源极区域和漏极区域的构造物称为焊盘(pad)。在图10中,在硅衬底上形成有STI(浅槽隔离:Shallow Trench Isolation)结构,硅衬底在纳米线的下方(带斜线的部分)露出。需要说明的是,实际存在带斜线的部分被热氧化膜等覆盖的情况,但在图10中,为简化图示而省略了热氧化膜等的图示。10 is a schematic diagram showing a basic configuration example of a nanowire FET (also referred to as a gate-all-around (GAA: Gate AllAround) type configuration). Nanowire FETs are FETs using thin wires (nanowires) through which current flows. Nanowires are formed of silicon, for example. As shown in FIG. 10 , the nanowire extends in a horizontal direction on the substrate, ie, extends parallel to the substrate, and the two ends of the nanowire are connected to the structures constituting the source region and the drain region of the nanowire FET. In the specification of the present application, a structure connected to both ends of the nanowire and constituting the source region and the drain region of the nanowire FET is referred to as a pad. In FIG. 10 , an STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) structure is formed on a silicon substrate, and the silicon substrate is exposed below the nanowires (parts with oblique lines). In addition, although the shaded part is actually covered with a thermal oxide film etc., in FIG. 10, illustration of a thermal oxide film etc. is abbreviate|omitted in order to simplify illustration.

纳米线隔着氧化硅膜等绝缘膜而被例如由多晶硅形成的栅极电极绕一圈包围起来。焊盘和栅极电极形成在衬底的表面上。根据该构造,因为纳米线的沟道区域的上部、两侧部以及下部全部被栅极电极围起来,所以能够在沟道区域产生均匀的电场。这样一来,FET就会有良好的开关特性。The nanowire is surrounded by a gate electrode made of polysilicon, for example, through an insulating film such as a silicon oxide film. Pads and gate electrodes are formed on the surface of the substrate. According to this configuration, since the upper portion, both sides, and lower portion of the channel region of the nanowire are all surrounded by the gate electrode, a uniform electric field can be generated in the channel region. In this way, the FET will have good switching characteristics.

需要说明的是,焊盘中的至少连接有纳米线的部分构成源极区域/漏极区域,但有时候,比连接有纳米线的部分靠下的部分未必会构成源极区域/漏极区域。而且,有时候,纳米线的一部分(未被栅极电极围起来的部分)构成源极区域/漏极区域。It should be noted that at least the portion of the pad to which the nanowire is connected constitutes the source region/drain region, but the portion lower than the portion to which the nanowire is connected may not necessarily constitute the source region/drain region. . Also, in some cases, a part of the nanowire (the part not surrounded by the gate electrode) constitutes the source/drain region.

在图10中,沿纵向即与衬底垂直的方向布置有两条纳米线。不过,沿纵向布置的纳米线的条数并不限于两条,可以是一条,也可以是沿纵向排列着布置有三条以上。在图10中,最上面一条纳米线的上端与焊盘的上端高度齐平。不过,并非需要使它们的高度齐平,焊盘的上端也可以比最上面一条纳米线的上端高。In FIG. 10, two nanowires are arranged in the longitudinal direction, ie, the direction perpendicular to the substrate. However, the number of nanowires arranged in the longitudinal direction is not limited to two, and may be one, or three or more nanowires may be arranged in the longitudinal direction. In Figure 10, the upper end of the uppermost nanowire is flush with the upper end of the pad. However, it is not necessary for them to be flush in height, and the upper end of the pad can also be higher than the upper end of the uppermost nanowire.

也存在图11所示的情况,即在衬底的上表面上形成有BOX(埋氧层:BuriedOxide),并在该BOX上形成有纳米线FET。There is also a case shown in FIG. 11 in which a BOX (Buried Oxide) is formed on the upper surface of the substrate, and a nanowire FET is formed on the BOX.

需要说明的是,在上述实施方式中,用纳米线FET代替鳍式FET来构成半导体集成电路装置时,下述部分会与鳍式FET的鳍对应,所述部分为:纳米线FET中的一条纳米线或沿与衬底垂直的方向布置的多条纳米线;以及与该纳米线的两端相连的焊盘。例如,能够将图1的标准单元2中的两个鳍21a分别变更为下述构造:使沿X方向延伸的一条或沿与衬底垂直的方向布置的多条纳米线、与焊盘交替连接而成的构造。即,在采用纳米线FET的构成方式中,纳米线及与其两端相连的焊盘相当于立体扩散层部。局部布线与相当于立体扩散层部的构造中的焊盘相连。It should be noted that, in the above-mentioned embodiment, when the nanowire FET is used instead of the fin FET to form a semiconductor integrated circuit device, the following part corresponds to the fin of the fin FET, and the part is: one of the nanowire FETs a nanowire or a plurality of nanowires arranged in a direction perpendicular to the substrate; and a pad connected to both ends of the nanowire. For example, the two fins 21a in the standard cell 2 of FIG. 1 can be respectively changed to a configuration in which one extending in the X direction or a plurality of nanowires arranged in the direction perpendicular to the substrate are alternately connected to the pads formed structure. That is, in the configuration using the nanowire FET, the nanowire and the pads connected to both ends thereof correspond to the three-dimensional diffusion layer portion. The local wirings are connected to the pads in the structure corresponding to the three-dimensional diffusion layer portion.

需要说明的是,在不脱离发明主旨的范围内,可以将多个实施方式中的各构成要素任意组合。In addition, each component in a some embodiment can be combined arbitrarily in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention.
